                                                                          turn around

                                                                                 Start.

Built in Office

Using Garming GPS system, a map of Singapore and Malaysia have been ready, pity that nuvifone M20 now in Taiwan no way to find satellites.

M20 essence, all the navigation options can be found in this place.

definitely the best helper as you don't know what to do.

only for STARHUB - MobileTV

nuvifone M20 there is a very fun feature Ciao!, Features similar to the Google Maps, vertical and horizontal, you can locate your friend's location, only difference is that can also display your current situation with friends, you can also directly navigate to the location of a friend quite interesting. but it must first apply from GARMIN website.

phone interface

M20 built-in 3.0Mega Pixels Auto Focus, but how the actual results?

With Windows Mobile Pro 6.1 as the operating system, nuvifone M20 with a pretty smooth in a normal using situation, luckly still not yet used the RESET button. The mobile phone is not in Singapore or Malaysia, so I don't have chance to do a actual test. I have a feel, the GPS is the essence of nuvifone M20. With WMP 6.1, honestly a bit of waste for it. OPERA browser + built-in Garmin navigation system + phone features, it should be meet the needs of the majority people

Within 4GB built-in storage memory, maybe no need worry about purchase memory card for most users, but if some users feel 4GB is not enough for use, maybe that's the biggest problem. Ringtones, with a good quality for sound and volume. If I really want to dislike, probably is the M20 is too light for me.

A simple introduction for nuvifone M20. Tnterested, may be can take a look from the physical store or go for experience it.

M20 : come and experience me~~~
